any adjustment of previously paid estimated amounts of real
estate tax or
operating expense reimbursements on a date subsequent to the
Closing Date,
Seller shall be entitled to receive, or shall be responsible
to pay, as
the case may be (when such amounts are actually received or
payable by
Purchaser), Seller’s pro rata share of any such adjusted amounts that are
applicable to periods ending prior to the Closing Date. After

adjustments under the Leases so that Purchaser may adequately
perform such
adjustments.

6.
|
To
the best of Tenant's knowledge, as of the date hereof: (i) there

the Lease, or any waiver of any terms of the Lease, that (i) materially

Party.
|
12.
|
